Animal testing should be discouraged because it is inhuman towards animals. Animals have rights similar to those of humans and their rights are often taken form them because of animal testing (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). There are several federally mandatory laws for animal protection, and for most tests, those laws are broken" (Human Society of the United States). Animals used in research are often treated with cruelty and some of the experiments are unacceptable. Often times cosmetic industries test their products on animals in order to get an estimate of the results of product. In some tests researchers test the results of shapoo and other products by rubbing it in their eyes, this is unjust towards animals (Human Society of the United States). Also most animals tested are nothing like humans so results of tests are not helpful (Dixon). This testing is unnecessary, cruel and needs to be stopped.
